Selection of food is fairly varied and caters for everyone, Starters, mains and deserts, along with sides and absolutely lovely milkshakes, beers wines, mixers and even coffee. Tables are kept clean and tidy, service is fast efficient and polite! I'm having real issues finding fault. Toilets were okay, no dogs allowed, only fair. Will definitely make an effort to make a return visit. Thanks to all the staff! Especially our waitress who was great (And very patient ) Thanks Chloe!

Best American Diner in Essex (UK)? We thought so!!! - service was great thanks to Kerry, food was plentiful and very delicious, authentic Americana decoration & period correct 50’s music playing in background, our food was fresh hot and quality ingredients, we’ve been to USA recently and this was better value (crazy but US is now way too expensive), so our summary, if you’re looking for the authentic Diner experience and very hungry we’d recommend you get yourself down to Grumpys Diner, around an hour by Rail from central London on the Fenchurch to Shoeburyness line or driving straight down the A13 to Southend On Sea. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!! Andy & Joe.

Service was excellent and very friendly, Kerry was a delight! Food was brilliant, cocktails and alcoholic milkshakes highly recommended. There are obviously regular customers, and they were lovely too.
